Undated photo, probably taken in England in early 1945; Harry is in the middle with two unidentified comrades. Harry wears the 9th Army Air Force patch on his shoulder and the chevrons of a Staff Sergeant. He has a Distinguished Unit Citation Ribbon on his right breast and his Aircrew Wings, Good Conduct Ribbon, and Europe Africa and Middle Eastern Campaign Ribbon with Bronze battle stars on his right; we can't see his sleeve but his comrade on the right has two Overseas Service bars, each marking 6 months in a theater of war.
